I can understand them taking a step back and giving me a few restrictions until I feel comfortable behind the wheel again. But I don't even see that as a punishment as much as common sense, considering, you know, I hit a car and most likely I might need a little bit of time to not be on edge while driving.

Anything past that I'll think of as excessive. But, in this case, I won't disagree since they really are going to be hit financially because of this.

I agree. If they didn't impose restrictions, then you might not have reason to pause and consider next time you get behind the wheel. You seem like a kid who would get it regardless, but your parents probably want to make sure, and like you said, they are paying for this. Apart from gas, they are also paying for you to be driving in the first place. If they want to lessen their potential future financial consequences of your driving, that is their perogative.
